So compared to the Bare 5mm (I have the gauntlets), the Henderson Hyperstretch 7mm are available precurved AND are warmer without losing all dexterity?

That would be great news...especially if I can get them in the instadry version. Anyone else have experience with these Hendersons?

They were definitely warm and temp was in the mid 30's on my last dives. About 50 minutes in to my last dive, the fingertips got cold but that was because I was getting cold myself since I was underweighted for this dive and therefore had no air in my drysuit near the end of the dive. I just wish the gloves were a little longer and with straps like my bare. Doesn't affect warmth though. And importantly, I can use my fingers easily. My LDS allows me to buy a set. Try it on my next dive and if it doesn't work out, I bring it back and get a different set.
 
I have a pair of the Henderson's Hyperstretch 7mm and they seemed to work great. The water temp was only 47 degrees and my hand's never did get cold. I was also wearing a dry suit which aided the warmth factor. I do agree with all4scuba05 that it would be nice if they were alittle bit longer and with a strap.
